Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1887-01-22

To the Chronicle:


largely composed Of representative men,
who doubtless, will work earnestly to
secure such Legislation as will redoun-
ed to the interest Of the greatest mum
Der Of people. In the organization Of
both houses, slanch Democrats were
chosen, which indicates "To the victors
belong the spols." We hope they
have aroused to a sense of their duties,
and investigate many things that have
heretofore been neglected. The Leg
islature is usually composed OF lawyers
and capitalists who scheme for their
own benefits, to the detriment of the
masses. They make many propositions
to their constituents. Many they
relegate and thus prove renegades.
They have frequently pledged them
selves to enact such laws as will have a
tendency to promote the interests gem
orally of all classes a like, but how
repeatedly failed to do it,
The farmers needs protection, all
classes work against him, taxation is
running him, his cereals are declining
in price, he can neither price his sta
Piles, nor the merchants. He can not
protect his domicil against the avari-
cious cliques and capitalists. In this
he should have supreme domination.
The tyrannical rules of the penten-
itentiary should be ameliorated.
Marriage license should not be issued
to minors.
The boys ought not to have to work
the public highways.
The sales OF whisky should be regula-
ted.
We ought to have better school
system or more money Our schools
average 70 days year, we ought
to have a sufficiency of money to have q
ten month school in every district every
year. The citizens OF this government
have to be educated in our public
schools, therefore, we should have q
good curriculum and it we'll executed
Education has changed the rugged for.

is a companion which no misfortune
can depress, no cline destroy, no enc,
my ALLEVIATE, no desdotism enslave, at

IN solitude a solace, and in society an
ornament.
